Fishing and volcano hiking in Castle Canyon Mesa
Castle Canyon Mesa is bounded by desert foothills to the west and south, offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. The 100-acre Fain Park, created in 1997, is popular for fishing and picnicking, and a trail around the lake invites hikers to take pleasant, tree-shaded strolls. The park also relates Prescott Valley’s history through signage and the preserved site of a decommissioned mine, complete with vintage mining equipment displayed near the long-closed pit. At the western edge of Castle Canyon Mesa, the Glassford Summit Trail leads hikers up an extinct volcano, from which they can take in the views of an almost-untouched desert biome.
